Hoping Elsa would bark and make a ruckus as soon as she would come back, Elia starts reading from page one. She reads:
"in the beginning, there was nothing; just land and the gods. Then, animals were made; quickly followed by humans. The old gods were tolerant to the humans, and the new gods were tolerant to the creatures. A dispute followed, which led to conflict.
God versus God, Animal versus Human.
In other words, Lilith and her three sisters versus Adam and the rest.
Lilith marched with her sisters, and led an army of beast-men and animals alike. They proved unstoppable and determined to be bred for a single purpose; dominion.
Wars later, famines past and after rivers had washed away more blood then they were designed for. The conflict climaxed at the battle of Lilith where, it is told, she back-stabbed Adam and condemned him. Soon her armies jumped their encampment and their sleeping men were butchered beyond imagination. The old gods, confused and rattled by their slain leader fled to the clouds, quickly followed by Lilith's three sisters. There they continued their fight, while Lilith had a last ace up her sleeve; she focused hard and meditated long, before she finally channeled her endless power and magic into the earth. She made love to the earth, it is said, and was with labor; she birthed a small child, the spirit of a volcano that arose with its birth. The volcano grew rapidly reached for the skies, and spew lava and rocks as the little baby in Lilith's arms cried for air. The gods, trapped in an endless inferno, were weakened and disillusioned enough to be either cast into the fire or banned forever. The three sisters were caught between the flaming rocks as well, however, and were severely weakened.
Still to this day, Lilith resides in the volcano, now her home, and tends to her baby; keeping it mellow and sleepy to, and thus keeping the vulcano sleeping as well to avoid it erupting again.
"A last question, a last answer" Lilith smiled without emotion. "Beyond this one, good choice of words my dear. Yes, there is; that is to say, i have heard word of it. Minerva will 'bring you up to speed', as they say, but when me and my sisters fought the old god we were reluctant to chase and hunt them all down. Wounds needed to be licked, damage needed to be repaired. We let them flee, the old hermits, thinking we had victory and time aplenty to start a search. A search we haven't started still. No doubt they will have found themselves a patch of dirt to rule, too far and hidden for my poor sisters' malice and gloom to reach them. Where it is, i do not know; i myself gloom over my past deeds as well and knowing where to find this place would give me the opportunity to heal what pain i have caused. Alas, the time has not yet presented it to me. Until then... A final question, a final answer. Delightful." Lilith concluded.
Without getting up from her stool she grabbed a small golden chalice that had been hidden from view by a bunch of vines, and held it up for Heidi to see. "Now, come closer and receive your gift"
